If some of the values are different, then these are brought by rounding off.
As much as possible, values are not rounded-off to obtain the most
possible accurate answers.

4. For Zn2+, atomic number = 30, atomic mass = 65.38 (~65),
Number of protons = 30; neutrons = 65-30 = 35; electrons = 30 – 2 = 28
e- + proton + neutron = 30 + 35 + 28 = 93

20.234 = 23.756(x); x = 0.8517 therefore, the mole fraction of the solute is 0.1483
36 g/ 18.02g/mole = 1.9978 mole solvent; 0.8517 = 1.9978/(1.9978 + nsolute)

∆𝑇 = 𝐾𝑓𝑚𝑖
Since urea is non-electrolyte, i = 1;

38. m = 0.205 m with respect to urea
200 g of solution is diluted with 250 g of water
First find the number of moles of urea present in a 200 g solution.
0.205/1000 g = (x/60.07)/(200 – x); x = 2.4329 g of urea
m’ = (2.4329 g/60.07 g/mole)/(200 g – 2.4329 g + 250 g)/1000g/kg

41. Half-life is 29 years. Fraction (x) remained after 100 years = ?
Since half-life exhibits first order reactions,
k = ln2/t1/2 = ln2/29 = 0.0239 years-1
ln|Ao| - ln|A| = kt = ln|1| - ln|x| = 0.0239(100)
x = 0.0916 remains
42. Another first order reaction:
ln|1| - ln|0.01| = 50(k)
k = 0.092103 years-1
t1/2 = ln2/k = 7.5257 years
43. Ra-226 half-life = 1600 years
α emission; t= 10 mins; 10 mg sample of Ra-226. 1 year = 365 days.
Since it still follows first order reaction, k = ln2/1600 = 4.3322 x 10 -4 years-1
For t = 10 mins, 10/(60)(24)(365) = 1.9026 x 10-5 years thus,
kt = 8.24233 x 10-9 disintegration
for 10 mg, 10 mg/(226)(1000 mg/g) = 4.4248 x 10-5 moles = 2.6646 x 1019 particles
(2.6646 x 1019 particles)(8.24233 x 10-9 disintegration) = 2.1963 x 1011 disintegrations
44. Activity = number of disintegrations per second
1Ci = 3.7x1010 disintegration/atom-sec
k = ln2/(1600 x 365 x 24 x 3600) = 1.3737 x 10-11 sec-1
kn = (1.3737x10-11)(2.6646 x 1019) = 366041979.3 particles/s
Activity = 366041979.3 dps/3.7 x 1010 dps/Ci = 9.8930 Ci
